Why operators choose Gold Standard

Mix. Equipment. Support.

Every Shift. Gold.

The Mix

Crisp, golden waffles, every time.

Pre-portioned mixes built for commercial throughput. Same perfect waffle, every shift, no recipe drift across cooks or locations. Some are ready with water alone, others take just one extra step - all built for the line.

The Equipment

Minimal upfront cost. Replacement ships next business day.

Commercial-grade waffle makers provided at minimal upfront cost - no separate purchase required. If anything fails under normal use, replacement ships the next business day. Not next week. Not when the next scheduled delivery arrives.

The Support

You call, we answer. Shipped nationwide.

Direct-shipped delivery anywhere in the continental US, Hawaii, and Alaska - no territory restrictions, no monthly visit dependency, no waiting on a rep. Dependable support, real solutions, no runaround.

Built For Your Operation

A program for every kind of kitchen.

Whether you serve 40 hotel guests at breakfast, a campus dining hall at peak rush, or a brunch crowd lined out the door - there's a Gold Standard program built for the way you operate.

Pick from our 7 pre-portioned signature mixes based on your menu and operation. Belgian for hotel breakfast, Cornmeal for chicken-and-waffle service, signature flavors for dessert and brunch - or any combination.

2

Equipment ships to your door

Commercial-grade waffle makers, plates, and onboarding materials shipped to your door. Most operators are serving fresh waffles within a few business days of order.

3

We stay in touch

Auto-ship on a steady cadence based on your committed volume. Need more sooner? Call, text, or email - we'll work with you. If equipment fails, replacement ships the next business day.

The Difference

Why operators are switching to Gold Standard.

Most waffle programs in the US still run on a 1950s service model - the same model that asks you to wait for a sales rep to drive to your property to refill mix or fix equipment. We believe there is a better waffle program.

FAQ

Questions,
answered.

Don't see your question? Call (833) 901-5062 - you'll reach someone who knows the program.

How much does the program cost?

Waffle irons are provided to you with an active program account, with minimal upfront cost - no separate equipment purchase or long-term contract. You pay for mix as you order it. Most operators run between 2 and 8 cases per month per location on average depending on volume and which mixes they use.

Call us with your weekly cover or ADR and we'll quote you in five minutes.

How is Gold Standard different from traditional waffle programs?

Most waffle programs in the US run on a traditional service model - a rep drives to your property on a recurring schedule with mix and to service equipment. That works fine until your equipment breaks between visits, or you're outside an active service area, or you suddenly need more mix for a busy weekend.

We ship direct from a central warehouse. Auto-ship runs on a steady cadence, and we check in before every shipment. Equipment problems get a replacement shipped the next business day, no rep visit required. Shipping nationwide - including Hawaii and Alaska - not just within a fixed service area.

Can I learn more before I sign up?

Yes - call us at (833) 901-5062 or fill out the form. Someone on our team will follow up within one business day to talk through your operation, walk you through how the program fits, and answer any technical questions about equipment requirements, mix options, or shipping.

If you're new to commercial waffle service and don't yet have a waffle iron, that's worth knowing too - we can talk through your options and recommend the best path forward before any commitment.

What happens if my equipment breaks?

You call us, and we answer. If we can't fix it over the phone, a replacement waffle maker ships the next business day to keep your service running. You ship the broken unit back in the same box.

Where do you deliver?

Anywhere in the continental US, plus Hawaii and Alaska. There are no service-area restrictions. If you can receive a UPS or FedEx package, you can run our program.

What flavors do you offer?

Our 7 signature mixes include Belgian, Red Velvet, Cinnamon Bun, Chocolate, Pizza Waffle, and Cornmeal - plus seasonal flavors that rotate through the year. All are pre-portioned and built for commercial throughput.

Is there a long-term commitment?

No long-term contract. Mix auto-ships on a steady cadence based on your committed volume, and we check in every month before it ships. Need more sooner? Call, text, or email and we'll adjust it. If you ever close your active program account, we'll arrange return of the equipment.
